Nails on a chalkboard, scuffing feet, silverware scratching ceramic plates! These are examples of some pet peeves people may have. Pet peeves are something that people do that you may find irritating or annoying. Some pet peeves have a diagnostic that creates the pet peeve what it is. What are some of your pet peeves? My pet peeves include loud chewing, nail biting, and people being late. Have you ever been at the cinemas and you’re watching the new Adam Sandler movie and it is getting really intense, and then you hear loud chewing *CHOMP* and then another *CHOMP CHOMP*. It makes you upset that your newly found movie is being ruined by the guy behind you. Although loud chewing is overall annoying it is also my top pet peeve. The reason for this being my pet peeve is because I used to do it as a child, but now it bothers me. People who get upset by loud chewing usually have the disorder called misophonia and it causes them to be sensitive to loud noise. Some may say nail biting is an addiction, most people do it! Actually nail biting usually happens when stress overweighs someone or they do it subconsciously, or when that overhang nail has just been bothering …show more content…
Some people think being late is the end of the world. I am usually always late, but I still hate when other people are late. Being late is a pet peeve that is really common, and if you don’t have the pet peeve then you’re the one who is late! Being late is not a disorder, it’s a choice. I am very understanding and so are most people but no one likes being late or waiting on someone either. To help with being late just plan your day out. If you know you have a date don’t try and go to the mall then to your date because you might lose track of
The aim of this paper is to take an in-depth look at the emotion of disgust, and explore what role (if any) it should play in morality. The issue of what role disgust should have in morality is disputed by advocates and skeptics. In what follows, I will outline this dispute and show the arguments each side makes. Following that, I will take a look into Kelly’s view which takes the skeptical stance, but differs in how he comes to take that stance. Next I will show how Kelly uses his view to disprove the disgust advocates’ arguments. Finally, I will illustrate a promising line of argument that may give hope to the disgust advocates, in light of Kelly’s powerful skeptical stance.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder tends to stem around certain categories. Fears, such as germs, are often a major category attacked by OCD. (Mayo, 1) These fears turn into obsessions, which can cause detrimental conflict in one’s life. Obsessions are thoughts, images, or impulses that keep reoccurring and lack control by the person obtaining them. (Ocfoundation, 2) Generally, these obsessions are unwanted by the person and are generally disturbing and confusing. Feelings of discomfort typically follow such thoughts as well as the wanting to correct the feeling of discomfort. (Ocfoundation, 3) Some of the most common obsessions today are body contamination, losing control, perfectionism, harm, or unwanted sexual thoughts. (Ocfoundation,4)
Chronemics, also known as the study of time, varies greatly from culture to culture. The American culture is very adamant about time, that if one is late to an event, a negative message is usually attached to their behavior. Arriving to class or to a meeting on time is a typical norm for this
...es too much room for error. Giving yourself enough time prior to your appointed formation also deters you from making up an excuse for being late. A squad cannot function to its full potential if a soldier is late. It reflects onto your superiors and your unit presentation as a whole. Another reason why showing up at least thirty minutes prior is beneficial, is for you to be in a relaxed state of mind. You do not want to be waking up stressed because you were in a rush, it never reflects well on you and yet again, leaves too much space for error. Lastly, arriving thirty minutes prior is for you to make sure you are well equipped to be prepared for the day. Always arrive early so you will have moments to relax, plan your agenda, connect with peers, get informed and organized for daily tasks.
To try and combat and modify this behaviour I attempted both positive reinforcement and positive punishment. For instance I allowed myself 1 hour extra on the computer if I went the whole day without biting my nails additionally after attempting the positive reinforcement above I attempted positive punishment which consisted of me doing 50 push ups each time I repeated the operant response.
This is very important, not only on the job but in your personal life as well. When your late to work it may give off the impression that you do not like working and being there is just a waste of time. Arriving to work early shows dependability and that you care about your job. From my own experience, I do not like getting up early in the mornings. I set two to three alarms that help me wake up to get ready for work. If I know that I have to be to work at 8:00am. I set my alarm clock for 5:00am. This allows me enough time to wake up, groom, dress, have breakfast and travel to work. My morning routine allows me to get to work a half hour early and also allows me to gather materials or hear briefings in regards to projects we that will be carried out for that day or that week. Being on time is important with everything you do.

What causes dental phobia? About 75% of such patients have had a bad childhood experience in a dentist's office. Another 25% suffer from other issues like post traumatic stress disorders e.g., war veterans, domestic violence and childhood sexual abuse, anxiety disorders, substance abuse, for whom dental phobia becomes an unpleasant side effect. Also a lot of these patients didn't have a good access to dental care. Indirect experiences such as hearing about traumatic experiences/views of a friend or family member about dentistry may also contribute towards development of phobias.

Since I can remember, I’ve had things to do and I put them off until the last minute. Sometimes putting things off until the last minute works out. At least half the time, assignments that I do the night before earn passing grades. On the other hand, there are plenty of times when I’ve avoided doing an assignment or studying for a test and not only am I a nervous bundle of anxiety, but I also end up bombing the test or getting a bad grade on the assignment. When it comes to procrastination, I’ve always had one or two friends who I could commiserate with-other people, just like me, who wait until the last minute to take care of something and then suffer all of the negative consequences that come along with that behavior. We look at all
This example doesn't only affect me, lots of students, teachers, and people in general are very bothered by this. For instance, last year during the SOL the teachers try very hard to keep the students walking down the hall silent, but there was one teacher standing outside my classroom who was practically yelling at the kids in the hallway to stop talking, but since she was talking so loudly it disrupted my thinking ability and I had to start over on the problem! Another instance, would also be when we are reading and there’s always one person in every class that has to keep their hands moving, playing with something, or, making a noise. In my case they were eating hot chile Cheetos puffs! Every time that they would take a bite not only would

There are many symptoms that lead to the conclusion that someone is suffering from OCD. A person may have a fear of germs, wanting things to be in perfect order constantly, and unwanted thoughts.
